As I have mentioned a couple times over the past couple months, I am a believer in the principles and theories of The Secret, the concept, book or movie, whichever you like best. The Secret states that if you truly believe in something, ask for it, put it out there, live like it has happened, and most importantly, again, truly think positive and believe, it will come true. Also similar is the Law of Attraction, which states (more or less) that if you are constantly thinking about something, that something will come true.
Why, you may ask, am I rambling about these concepts? Well, perhaps they actually work.
Now you may have picked up over the past few weeks that I have been rooting for the UNC Tarheels in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. I put it out there (in writing, via this blog as well as picking them to win in my March Madness Bracket) and truly believed that they would prevail. Of course it wasn't that difficult because they beat opponents by an average of 20+ points over the course of the tournament, but I believed in them. Therefore, if anyone did not notice, North Carolina stomped Michigan State last night, which means I won my March Madness Bracket, taking home a decent chunk of change. Which is nice considering I have no income.
So what we will do today class is ask for certain things (all pertaining to me at this time in my life) and then believe in them. And by asking I mean, asking out loud, asking the powers of the universe, putting these positive thoughts out there...and we shall see what happens.
First and foremost, I am asking that I will soon find a career that will be both mentally and financially rewarding. We know the fields I have been looking at, medical sales and/or insurance wholesales. Now as soon as you read this say out loud, "Utley I believe you will find a rich, rewarding career in your chosen fields." Thank you. Remember, you must say it aloud!
Second (in no particular order) I almost ran over a nice young attractive girl at the parking lot at the gym earlier today. We exchanged a quick smile. Now, lets put it out there, "Utley, I believe you and this little minx will strike up a meaningful conversation at some point this week." I'm not asking for much here. Remember say it aloud, and you must believe!
Third, I will put a "shot out" to the kharmic gods regarding our beloved New England Sports Teams. "Utley, I believe the Red Sox, Celtics, and Patriots will take home their respective championships this season." We've gotta try, right?
Fourth, I am going to a job fair on Thursday...and yes I'll write about it after. "Utley, I believe something significantly positive will result from your attending this job fair on Thursday." Again, say it aloud and truly believe it.
Finally, although I haven't mentioned it yet, but I am taking a trip to the islands soon. I'll discuss it later, but, "Utley, I believe your trip to St. Croix will result in a positive, life altering, monumental happening." Say aloud and believe.
I will do the same. It's the power of positive thinking people. You will all be doing me a solid if you read these requests, say them aloud, putting these thoughts out there in the universe, and believe in them. 100% believe in them. I will be doing the same.
And...I'll get back to you on how these are going. Until then,

okay utley. i hope this sabbatical is not toying with your sanity. i have a friend of a friend here in chicago that is VERY into the secret. she actually has herself convinced that she's about to become a billionaire. she's even taken it to the point of asking her friends what their dream job is and then making a list of which friends get a share of her billions.
ReplyDeletei think she is certifiably batshit crazy. you better tone down this 'secret' thing or i'm going to think the same about you!
i'm all for a positive mental attitude and i'm a big supporter of the blog, but let's get a grip utley!
Ted sounds like need some new friends, maybe some closer to your own age.
ReplyDeleteI'm not as much into this sh*t as your bff out there in Chicago don't worry. Thanks for the support.
